Harbaugh on Alex Smith, Michael Crabtree, etc.

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was on KNBR’s morning show today. Likely there will be a podcast available at knbr.com later. And Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com was good enough to type out some of Harbaugh’s answers. Here’s are some highlights, as recorded by Maiocco:

What he’s doing all day:

“We really organize and trouble-shoot and comb through all our systems and our schemes. … Every minute of training camp has been organized. And then, looking at our opponents, not only the preseason ones, but Game 1, Game 2, Game 3 and Game 4.”

On the minicamp the players held:

“What a neat thing that is — where character guys can really get a leg up on some of the competition. … these guys are organizing practices and throwing sessions like we had to do when we were kids. … That’s a lot of guys making plans, changing their schedules and making the effort to be there.”

On Alex Smith as a player, as opposed to the leadership he’s been showing:

“When it comes to performing on the field, that will be determined when we get all our players in here and we practice and start playing games. We’ll find out who our best players are.”

On Michael Crabtree:

“Crab to me is a good guy and a good football player. Just some of the things lately kind of goes back to the analogy I gave a little bit ago, when you’re kids and working it out and sometimes you get into some tussles and shirts get ripped and noses get bloodied, but that’s part of figuring it out. I know he’s a good guy.”
